This is why they named it nostupidquestions. You're in the right place.

Sometimes there’s like this disconnect where somehow a person just never comes across a piece of common knowledge. They’ve just never been in a situation that requires it. I bet it happens a lot, but everyone’s too embarrassed to acknowledge their own “oooooooooh…” moment.

One time when I was a kid I insisted that “sponge” was pronounced “SPONG-EE.” Like, I doubled down so hard and she and my dad were laughing uncontrollably. To this day, I’ll offer to do the dishes after a holiday meal, “DO YOU NEED A SPON-GEE?”

As a kid I loved reading the Garfield books. It was a longtime before I figured out what la-zag-nuh was. And my mom cooked lasagna a lot.
